While details of the story are sketchy, the girl reportedly came into a local hospital profusely bleeding and in enormous pain, Univision’s Primer Impacto reported.

According to the report, she gave birth to a 5 1/2-pound baby. The delivery was the first time she had seen a doctor during her pregnancy.

While the quickly spreading story has horrified people around the world, little is known about the young girl’s identity, the baby’s father or how such a young girl got into such a grownup situation.

Members of the community reportedly have kept mum about the girl’s child.

The mother, according to reports, does not understand much about motherhood and doesn’t want to breast-feed her baby.

According to the report, she’s part of the Wayuu tribe, which can be immune from Colombian laws.

Sadly, it’s a growing problem for the tribe, one expert said.

“We’ve already seen similar cases of Wayuu girls,” Efraín Pacheco Casadiego, director of the hospital where the girl gave birth, told RCN La Radio noticias, the Huffington Post reported. “At a time when [the girls\] should be playing with dolls, they go to having to take care of a baby. It’s shocking.”
